Quaker Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies

I baked something I seldom do, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. As much as I bake oatmeal cookies, I usually add pretty much anything BUT raisins (walnuts, chocolate chips, cranberries, white chocolate, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, M&M’s…………. not all at once!).

Well, today I was feeling rebelious and thought I would throw caution to the wind and add Raisins to my Oatmeal Cookies! I used a Tried and True recipe from the lid of the Quaker Oatmeal Box!

This recipe produces everything an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie should be, in my opinion, soft, chewy, wholesome (yet not “healthy” tasting) with a hint of cinnamon. The raisins were a welcomed addition to this much loved and altered Oatmeal Cookie Recipe!

I can “take or leave” raisins in pretty much everything. They don’t fire my jets. BUT … I’ve never thought (and never seen instructions) to soak raisins in warm water and vanilla. That is a very fine idea that I’m going to try — it just may help tip the scales in favor of raisins.

You can really add any fruit,chocolate or nuts or a variety of all three to this and they are delicious! Me and my dad have been using this receipe (slightly altered, but i’m not telling the secrets lol) for years and as the receipe says they always vanish!!
